Committee Chairman James Comer on Wednesday asked the National Archives for documents relating to any communication between the vice president’s office and business associates of the Biden family. On Tuesday, Comer issued six separate subpoenas as part of a Republican investigation of federal government probes into Hunter Biden, who is President Joe Biden’s son. Comer alleges that Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service officials are involved in obstructing House Republicans’ sweeping investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings. DHS has denied the claims.
What exactly did these officials do? The subpoenas seek documents and testimony from the officials. One point of focus for the subpoenas is whether the Department of Homeland Security prevented Secret Service officials from appearing for interviews with Congress.
